When I first bought Red Dead Redemption (well over a decade ago, for the Xbox 360), I got it exclusively for the “Undead Nightmare” expansion pack. I love zombie games, and setting it in the Wild West? That’s a unique twist I hadn’t seen yet.
However, I didn’t want to just jump right into the zombie gameplay. I wanted to be intimately familiar with the world and its lore first, so I could squeeze all the enjoyment out of the zombie expansion. I wanted to know all the townsfolk, so when I had to blow someone’s brains out, I’d understand their relationship to the main character and how emotionally impactful that choice was.
Suffice to say, I was so anxious to get to the zombie expansion that I rushed through the entire game in maybe 2 evenings. I didn’t really enjoy my playthrough because I was just trying to get it over with as quickly as I could.
When I finally got to the zombie expansion, I didn’t really enjoy it that much. It was at that moment I realized that the original game was far more fun than the zombie expansion. But I had rushed it and wasted my whole experience.
Last year, I finally got around to playing through the game again and I made sure to slow down and really enjoy it. It’s such a fantastic story. I played the Undead Nightmare expansion afterwards and made a post about it here for Halloween month. That, too, was more fun than I remembered.
Now I need to finally play Red Dead Redemption 2. I’ve owned it for years, but I always get bored maybe an hour into the gameplay. They put so much effort into making it as realistic and complex as possible that I just get distracted and lose the plot. RDR1 was a more straightforward plot and kept me engaged, but I keep losing focus on the sequel. I need to force myself to sit still and power through it sometime. #ADHDproblems
I blasted through RDR1 because I wanted to play RDR2. Coming straight from RDR1 to RDR2 I felt the gameplay much slower pace than the first which put me off at first. I came back to it multiple times but it's such a long story. I play it once in a while, but it will take me a couple of years before I finish it haha.. especially now since I'm hooked on WoW Classic.
I feel you with the plot lol. I had a save all the way in Chapter 5 of the second game and lost it, and just kept picking it up and putting it back down again (which i do for a lot of things looking back). It took a whole new prescription for me to power through it
Hey! Me and my friend played this recently and it took us a good while to clear. It’s fun, but incredibly difficult. We even turned it down to the lowest difficulty and still only one of us finished the climb.
I’ve been building PCs since before cable management was a thing and so I’ve never cable managed anything. The inside of my case looks messy regardless of where you open it. Thankfully there’s no glass panel either.
My computer looks great from the glass panel side! Just dont take off the back side panel or all the cables spill out and I have to push them all back in 🤣
I don’t know what I assumed, but yeah, the modern solution is basically, "okay, no ribbon cables, but just cram everything else behind a piece of metal. 🤣
Joke’s on them though because I still have a COM port and its connector is a gray ribbon cable with a single magenta stripe on the side.
I have an SFF gaming PC with high-end components, including a 3-slot GPU. The cable management is basically just cramming the power cables between the power supply and the bottom of the case.
The side panel just clips on, so I can’t even use it to hold the cables in.
The problem I’ve found in the past with these kinds of big discord servers is that they’re primarily used to advertise streamers or YouTube channels. Meaning they’re full of inactive people that just post in streamer link chat channels when they go live and that’s basically it. I was actually a mod for a big gamer discord server that ended up exactly like this, so the few of us that were active branched off and made another server with only the active people. Problem is life gets in the way and sadly eventually they drift apart as well. I would love another active cozy server though.
Just finished Dead Space remake and have begun playing Dead Space 2. The remake is really phenomenal. It’s proper horror, with amazing ambient sounds that keep you on your toes, and clever ammo system that kept me switching to weapons that I didn’t care about. The metroidvania touch is a great change from the original, making revisiting older sections rewarding as you progressed in the game.
DS2 on the other hand feels pretty life less after playing the remake. I’m aware it’s a well regarded sequel, but it’s much less scary and almost a different genre of a game. I think I’m half way through and I don’t think I’m able to immerse much into it. It’s probably a great game from its era and seems less exciting in front of the remake.
